Summary
I'm Justin, I've had several years experience in the oil and gas industry I've worked in many different ways under Laborer/Operator title and even leading some crews myself and teaching new employees how to do their job safely and properly and also tips and tricks to get the job done easier. I'm most experienced in well pad work and excavation. Willing to learn, I pick up fast on new tasks. I'm a hard worker and fast paced when given clear instructions on what is expected to be done. Looking forward for the chance to work for Antero.
